Great video, very good step by step explanation. 😊

@TheBerkeleybob 26 күн бұрын

Excellent video! Very concise and detailed explanation that far surpassed the ( do not mean to be mean) (un) useful idiot I got in the WU chat session. My god! Had a simple question or 2 and felt like banging my head against the wall. Your video explained it quite well, so thank you. I simply want to be able to send $$ to myself from my bank in the US so that I may pick up my own money while in another country, and this went completely over the head of the agent! What I DID learn from the agent is that if I send $1,000, I MUST pick up ALL of the $1,000. In other words, the money does not reside in an "account" from which I may pull at my discretion. Seems alien but I guess it is what it is. If I send $300, I must pick up exactly $300 - -no more, no less. Seems weird but apparently how it works! Tank you for a superb video, mate!

Yeah that's likely to effect ID verification because they'll want to match your personal info with your drivers license. If you update your drivers license address you'd likely get a new one in a couple of weeks. Issue is, can you wait that long? If not do you have any other form of ID? ^Jonny

@user-bv1ze5de6u 8 ай бұрын

You have to cancel the transaction it won’t let you pick up the money. It’s a scam so that they can refund your money except for the transfer fees. You will lose whatever you pay in transfer fees every time!! Just read about my experience in the comments 😢

No, WU will only allow you to send ARS so you'll have to collect it in pesos. You might be able to exchange it for USD at the Western Union agent location when you collect, although I wouldn't trust the FX rate to be very good. Where are you based? I might be able to suggest another way. ^Jonny

Excellent video mate; I've given up with PP, I've been chasing my tail for over a week, it won't let me top up from my local debit account- I'm an old duffer so I've had smart young realatives helping out and they are baffled too. I'm in the Philippines and 4 hours from my bank branch and I'm trying to send regular small payments to my UK Halifax current account to pay my Capital One credit card. I'm unable to make international transfers using local online banking, or credit card to credit card - I think it's a Philippines thing. So I'd like to give WU online a shot - the local WU office say thay can't transfer to a foreign account. Assuming I set up a WU account will the system allow me to send money to a UK account in my own name?

@user-bv1ze5de6u 8 ай бұрын

I’m sending it from USA. I’ve sent the transfer 2 different times entering every detail possible! They wouldn’t let my recipient pick up the money either time. He showed them his passport and everything matched but they asked him to see my identity so I sent him a photo of my drivers license and they still wouldn’t let him pick up the money. So in result I had to cancel both transactions and they sent a refund to my account but only for the amount that I sent. So I lost the transfer fees. It cost me $6 two different times to actually accomplish nothing. The second time I was actually at an agency and the agent helped me do everything from my phone through the app and told me everything was correct and he could pick up the money without any problems. So I recommend no one use this app ever! Unless you want to get charged transfer fees for them doing absolutely nothing!!

@Monitodotcom 8 ай бұрын

To confirm, the Western Union agent asked to see your ID? Do you know the address of this agent as that's not necessary. According to Western Union's own website (wucare.westernunion.com/s/article/What-do-I-need-to-pick-up-my-money-transfer?language=en_US) they only need to provide your full name and possibly your country and state. What reason did they give for refusing to let him pick the money up? ^Jonny
